Frankly speaking, this granddaughter has been back for several years now, but Old Lady Su has never felt that Su Yao is someone who is afraid of things or gives others leeway.
There must be a reason for Su Yao to retreat.
She let out a cry of surprise, and became even more itchy: "You are such a cunning girl, you keep people on suspense. Tell me quickly, why did you go all the way to remind Cui Yuandao so that he could leave before Gao Ping found out?"
Mrs. He burst out laughing. She and Old Lady Su had known each other since they were teenagers. Both of them lived a carefree life when they were young girls. They also enjoyed a period of glory after getting married. But then both lost their husbands in middle age and became widows. Over the years, she had become accustomed to Old Lady Su's gloomy look. Now seeing Old Lady Su like this, she couldn't help but feel happy and emotional.
Sadness, pain and despair are not the most terrible things for people. The most terrible thing is to live a life in numbness.
It turned out that Old Mrs. Su was about to die.
Now I am finally popular.
It is true that good fortune can nourish people.
Mrs. Su and Mrs. He suddenly laughed out loud and looked at her strangely. Seeing that she was so happy, they were even more confused: "What's wrong with you? What's so funny?"
Su Yao could somehow understand what Mrs. He was laughing at. She explained softly to Mrs. Su, "I left room for this matter. First, Cui Yuandao is well-known all over the world. He is not a bad person. We just have different positions. Secondly, Cui Yuandao was famous for his loyalty, bravery and uprightness during the period of the deposed emperor. His being able to serve in the government is a symbol to the emperor. With such a big scandal, the emperor will definitely ask about it."
The situation has finally stabilized a little, why should there be sudden twists and turns that make people uneasy
Besides, not all enemies have to be fought to the death. Sometimes, there are other ways.
After all, there are no eternal enemies in this world, but interests are eternal.
Old Mrs. Su understood a little and thought for a while before nodding.
The night finally passed, and the next morning, Princess Fenyang heard that Cui Yuandao had arrived, and she was a little surprised.
She knew her uncle best. He was a very noble man. Logically, he should stay at home for a while, let his students and old friends send him visiting cards, and then be reserved for a while before he would come out.
But why did he come to me at this time
He used to be unwilling to have any contact with the palace.
Although she was confused, Princess Fenyang still invited him in without delay. She greeted Cui Yuandao with a smile and asked softly, "Uncle, you came so early. Have you eaten yet? It just so happens that a new cook from Sichuan has come to the mansion. Didn't you say that you liked the food in Sichuan the most when you traveled far away? Let him show you his cooking skills today."
She had a gentle attitude and a warm smile on her face. She thought Cui Yuandao had figured it out, but Cui Yuandao sat upright and shook his head.
Seeing his attitude, Princess Fenyang's smile faded slightly, she raised her eyebrows and called out suspiciously, "Uncle?"
Cui Yuandao let out a long sigh, and said solemnly, "I'm sorry to trouble you, Princess. It's not necessary. I'm here to say goodbye to you."
Princess Fenyang was startled. She paused holding the teacup in her hand and frowned, not reacting for a moment.
Then she couldn't help but sneer in her heart.
Goodbye?!
The family has put in so much effort and done so many things to pave the way smoothly, and is just waiting for Cui Yuandao to embark on this road and lead the family to greater glory.
But now, Cui Yuandao actually said he wanted to quit
Princess Fenyang's usual calmness and demeanor disappeared instantly. She could no longer maintain her dignity and gentleness. She raised her voice with a stern face and said, "Uncle!"
Is this a kids' game?!
Just don't play when you say you don't want to
Cui Yuandao naturally understood the anger of Princess Fenyang. He sighed deeply and smiled bitterly, "I am sorry that the old man is useless and has caused trouble for the clan and the princess. However, I have made a decision on this matter. When I enter the palace later, I will naturally explain my attitude to the emperor. Please let the princess know."
Princess Fenyang couldn't remain calm, she only felt it was ironic.
She was totally surprised that Cui Yuandao would make such a decision. She couldn't help but slam the table and said, "Uncle, don't you know how many people are involved in this matter? How can you be so frivolous?!"
Cui Yuandao no longer wanted to argue with her, but just repeated his position: "Princess, please forgive me. If the clan has any decision, I have no objection, but this matter cannot be reversed. I will return home later. I am sorry to have troubled you all this time."
Princess Fenyang thought it was ridiculous, but Cui Yuandao had a high status. After he returned to Beijing, many people wanted to see him. Emperor Yuanfeng also had an order to summon him. Could she force Cui Yuandao to do anything
Seeing Cui Yuandao leaving, Princess Fenyang was so angry that she couldn't help but smash a set of Ru kiln porcelain. She still felt a dull pain in her heart. She was so angry that she wanted to smash it in front of Cui Yuandao to let him know what stupid thing he had done.
The room fell completely silent. The servants outside had already heard the noise, but they all shrank their necks, pretending not to hear anything, and no one dared to come in and ask.
It was not until Mr. Cui arrived that everyone told him, as if they had been pardoned, that Cui had come all the way here.
When Mr. Cui heard that Princess Fenyang was so angry after Cui Yuandao came, he couldn't help but feel puzzled. When he heard Princess Fenyang say that Cui Yuandao was going to leave and return home, his mind was buzzing even more.
"How could this happen?" Mr. Cui was puzzled. "Mr. Cui had never objected before... What happened to him?"
"How should I know?" Princess Fenyang's heartbeat quickened with anger, her face livid. "What does he think he is doing? Everyone has already done so much, and he just said he doesn't want to serve as an official. What should others do?!"
Indeed, even Mr. Cui, who is usually calm and composed, couldn't help but make a bitter face.
"That won't do." Mr. Cui exhaled heavily. "Mr. Bai finally agreed to our proposal to take over Qi Yunxi's business. If something goes wrong at this time, all our efforts will be wasted. But we have already given Mr. Bai so many things to show our sincerity! If something goes wrong at this time, not only will all our efforts be wasted, but Mr. Bai will probably be so angry that he will turn against us."
How can those people in the southeast be so easy to deal with
Princess Fenyang was annoyed: "Go check and see if they encountered anything. I want to know what they did last night." (To be continued)
